Quick Lady Joyce trip
Mate Colin and I took off for what we hoped would be a trip down to one of the channels to catch a black snapper or two and maybe a pinky.
Got away from the ramp at 0745 and after a bit of searching for a channel opening and changing plans we arrived at the Joyce at around 0845-0900.
First dozen or so casts with a mulie resulted in trevally of around 2 kg and pinkies about an inch undersize plus a tailor that went 3 -3.5kg, all released.
Col cast his line away from the wreck and immediately hooked in seeing what and where he'd got his I followed up with a good keeper as well
When it was 1100 and time to leave so Col could be back in time for work we had 7 pinkies and 3 reasonable trevs in the box and had deliberately released something like 50 undersize pinkies and near the same in small trevs plus 2 good tailor and 4 unintentionable releases where the fish decided they didn't want to look at us two old farts

Forgot
Its been that long since I've felt like it or the weathers been right a bloke has nearly forgotten what it feels like to catch a couple.
Probably be a while before it happens again too, got to come south on Tuesday to see quacks on Friday at transplan clinic

Donation
Got a kidney thats giving me heaps so they are going to take it out, patch it up and give it to someone else. Still works @ 100% just gives me pain where as 7 out of 10 adults have the same cysts I'm the 1 in 10.000 that can feel them---trust me to be the one with the f#$%^&d up nervous system
Nah, was great to get out in near flat conditions and have a good session

Relaxing
Was busy but also relaxing to get a line in the water and some fish to take down south to the crew [bit of bribery goes a long way]
No sharks was a treat because I hate donating to their cause.
